We knew developing a solution would take time, money and expertise. Other systems had gone to

But do we love sports?
Our co-founder Mike Panaggio’s commitment to sports started early, as a coach’s son. His father,
Mauro Panaggio, was a star basketball player for The College at Brockport, and eventually became
the Head Coach of the same team. Mauro left his mark at the professional level as the winningest
coach in the history of the Continental Basketball Association, the former developmental league
for the NBA. Meanwhile, Mike’s brother Dan, also a coach, won a few NBA Championship rings with
the Lakers as an Assistant Coach under Head Coach Phil Jackson.
Mike was a stand out college player in his own right, and played for his dad at Brockport,
further cementing his passion for sports.
Mike brought this competitive passion to business, and grew his company DME from a start-up
employing seven people to a top marketing company that currently employs over 550 associates.
Mike’s passion for sports remained strong, and as his success grew, so did his commitment to
youth and pro sports.
